Notes to PassagesNotes to Passages

1.She went to talk to professor Kunts, a foreign teacher in her university, about how to write a resume in English to apply for a job in a foreign company in China.

她去向校内的一位外籍教师昆兹教授请教如何用英语写个人简历，以便到国内的一家外国公司求职．

１ ) ．句中动词不定式结构 how to write…是“疑问词＋不定式”的结构，它充当介词 about的宾语，动词不定式要做介词的宾语必须由疑问词引导．

e.g.1.He has no idea of how to do it.2.I gave him a suggestion on where to go.


２） in English意为“用英语”．这里表示表达方式

e.g.In Chinese, in ink, in pencil, in red

试比较：1.Don’t write it in pencil.2.We write with a pen or a pencil.


Secondly, you should also include the education you have received, experience you have had, and foreign languages you have studied.

句中 secondly这一副词表示顺序．表示序列可用序数词或序数词＋ ly，如 first-firstly, second-secondly, third-thirdly等

句中 you have received/had/studied为定语从句，前面省略了关联词 that/which,次分别修饰 education/experience/languages.


3.Could you go over it and see if I need to make any changes?

1)句中 Need一词为实义动词 , 意为“需要” , 故作宾语的动词不定式需要带 to.

e.g.1.Does he need to know the fact?2.You don’t need to do it yourself.此外 ,Need还可做情态动词用 , 表示“需要干…”之意 ,

主要用于否定句和疑问句 .e.g.1.You needn’t hurry.2.Need she come here? Yes, she must.


2)句中 if引导宾语从句 , 含义为“是否” . 此时与 whether的区别如下 :

(1)在介词之后的宾语从句只能用而不用引导 , 且 if不能与 or连用 ,whether则可以 .

e.g. 1.I haven’t settled the question of whether I’ll go back.

2.I can’t say whether he is right or not. (2)if 只能引导宾语从句 , 而 whether可引导所有名词

性从句( 宾语从句 , 表语从句 , 主语从句和同位语从句 ),它还能引导让步状语从句 .

e.g. 1.Whether she like it I don’t know. 2.Whether you come with me or not, I will go.


I believe you’re likely to get what you want, the assistant manager’s position.

句中 Likely为形容词, 意为“可能的”, 常用于以下两种结构 ;

1)Be likely to do; e.g. 1.I am likely to be very busy tomorrow. 2.He is likely to win the game.2)It is likely that…: e.g. 1.It’s likely that the meeting will last until late.

2.It’s very likely that we will arrive late.


5.Excellent English, fair German.

成绩的划分如下 :excellent 优 ;good良 ;fair 中 ;bad 差 . 这是一种常用于简历和广告等应用文中的省略结构 , 古可改写为 :
